The last quarter of 2025 may not have started on a great note for BNB Chain due to a recent attack on its social media account. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, CZ, took to X to alert the public that the @BNBCHAIN X account was compromised.
BNB Chain Hacker Spreads Phishing Links for Wallet Connect
On Oct. 1, CZ took to X to announce the attack on BNB Chain’s X account, explaining the actions that the bad actor had performed after successfully gaining control of the social media account.
Apparently, the crypto founder had earlier notified his followers of the possible hack. He encouraged them to avoid clicking on any link recently posted from the account.
At the time, he claimed that the BNB Chain team had swung into action and was already investigating the exploit, with a promise to provide updates as it progresses. In his follow-up post, CZ told his readers that the hacker went about posting a lot of links to phishing websites that requested Wallet Connect.
